บท 22: FABRICATED APOLOGY

Han jiwoo having the idea decides to go tell Song Minhyun about it because she feels that her mother might know who to contact or even praise her for the idea.

Han Jiwoo hurried to Song Minhyun chambers and in the process hit her toe an a stone that stood in the way, she hissed in pain cussing at the stone but the fact that her mother might praise her for the plan kept Han jiwoo going despite the pain she was feeling at the moment.

Han jiwoo reached Song Minhyun chambers to see the place deserted as the maids were no where to be seen in the court yard, as Han jiwoo pushed through the wooden gate that protected the place, she saw baskets containing Song Minhyun's laundry making the clothes spill over the grass ground.

Han jiwoo rushed into Song Minhyun chamber sliding the gate forcefully as she was worried something had happened to Song Minhyun.

On getting inside Han jiwoo saw Song Minhyun cooped up in a corner sobbing silently as tears made Song Minhyun hair stick to her face, as she had earlier let it down.

Han jiwoo felt her heart ache seeing her mother in that situation, if only her mother was not obsessed with Han Jisung things would have been better, Song Minhyun was a beauty and could attract as many suitors as possible so Han Jiwoo always wondered why are mother was willing to sacrifice her sanity for someone who never loved her, it doesn't seem right at all.

"Mother!!!" Han jiwoo yelled as she raced to Song Minhyun side avoiding the fallen tables that adorned the ground. Han jiwoo had earlier ordered all the vases in Song Minhyun chambers be cleared out as she was afraid that her mother would only use it to hurt herself if it was kept there, but turns out Song Minhyun found another alternative.

"I thought I said you should let me be, why don't you understand you disgust me." Song Minhyun yelled pushing Han jiwoo away making Han Jiwoo back hit the edge of the table that was lying around, Han Jiwoo groaned in pain as her back hit the table but she pushed back the tears that threatened to spill, no matter what Song Minhyun was her mother, and it was all her father's fault all this was happening.

Han Jiwoo ignored the pain again and crawled to her mother embracing her tightly.

"Mother, everything is going to be alright." Han Jiwoo cooed patting Song Minhyun back trying to calm her down.

"I said let me be, vagabond." Song Minhyun yelled trying to pull Han Jiwoo hands away but Han Jiwoo only held on tighter refusing to let go of Song Minhyun.

"Mother, I have good news, father has forgiven you, he even sent me to give you these roses." Han Jiwoo said removing a rose from her robes hurriedly, thank goodness she had remembered to pluck one on the way.

Song Minhyun eyes lit up hearing that, "I knew your father love me more than anyone else." Song Minhyun muttered happily snatching the rose from Han Jiwoo hands making the thorn pierce Han Jiwoo hands but she smiled through the pain, it was worth the pain as long as she made her mother happy.

"Heh, you Vagabond why did you get it all squeezed up, I always knew yo were useless, don't you know this represent your father's love for me yet you treated it like this." Song Minhyun scolded Han Jiwoo harshly.

"Am sorry Mother." Han Jiwoo apologized softly glad to see her mother smile again.

"Mother, I have news for you." Han Jiwoo said suddenly remembering why she had originally come there.

"What's it?" Song Minhyun asked unhappy that she had been interrupted from looking at the rose that was sent to her by Han Jisung.

"The city is about to go to war with Min nation." Han Jiwoo announced.

"So what does that have to do with me?" Song Minhyun sneered irritatedly."Bogsu is going for the war, so this is our opportunity to kill her without anyone pointing fingers at us for it." Han Jiwoo revealed.

"What did you just say?" Song Minhyun asked with brightened eyes as she whipped her head to look at Han Jiwoo as if asking for confirmation again.

"I said the war is an opportunity for us to kill Bogsu." Han Jiwoo calmly said again.

Song Minhyun stayed silent for a while as if processing what Han Jiwoo just said.

"Seems you have a good use after all." Song Minhyun finally said.

Han Jiwoo bowed her head and realised a small smile, finally Song Minhyun had praised her, it was worth all the injuries she had sustained ever since Han Jiwoo was little this has always been the dream that goes on in her mind, Song Minhyun praising her and seems as if it had finally come to pass.

"But there might be a slight problem." Han Jiwoo said after wiping the smile off her face.

"What?" Song Minhyun asked agitated.

"We might need some machineries to do the work, where are we going to get one without our identities being exposed." Han Jiwoo reasoned.

"Is that why you are worried?" Song Minhyun asked pausing for a while.

"Don't worry about it just leave it to me." She added.

Han Jiwoo raised her eyebrows in curiosity but decided to keep shut, she didn't want Song Minhyun getting angry at her.

"Now that you've delivered your message you can leave, I need to change and take a shower, also call all those cowards that call themselves maids to get back here to prepare my bath." Song Minhyun ordered with the crazy aura that originally surrounded her disappeared almost immediately and a tyrant aura appeared.

Han Jiwoo sighed seeing her mother character change, it was always like this, one moment Song Minhyun is acting all mental and if Han Jisung shows any form of concern or apology, she is back to her unbearable self.

Han Jiwoo left to carry out Song Minhyun order fearing she might be mad at her again, it was one of this moment she wished she had a normal family.
